Kate Middleton & The Four Secrets For Marrying A Prince
The second type of fun is easy to incorporate into your routine. You could watch funny movies or more sophisticated cartoons together; go to comedy clubs; or share funny moments of teasing or clowning. Shared laughter is a great stress reliever and bonding agent. Humor can be used to validate the other person or for you to lightly make fun of your drama; these are both different ways of connecting. Laughter can also break through and soothe upset or bitter feelings. For all of these reasons, shared humor has been shown by research to be a key component of happy marriages.
I know you probably can't go to Kenya like Kate and William. But you can have high times going crazy together over a high-voltage vid game. This type of fun gets your adrenaline pumping and simulates the speedy brain chemistry of falling in love. You could hit the amusement park, go bungee jumping, take a helicopter ride, hike a mountainous trail, scream yourselves silly at a basketball game or have a footrace at the beach. Studies show that people who are emotionally aroused by any feeling, including joy or fear, fall in love more easily. As two love researchers once wrote, "Adrenaline makes the heart grow fonder."
Novel Activities
The royal duo have been on some memorable trips and shared novel activities together. Novelty has been shown to be a key factor in developing personal and relationship satisfaction. It helps to produce dopamine, the neurotransmitter of pleasure. Change things up: where you make out or make love and where you go on vacation. Do something out of the ordinary, like taking a cross-country road trip or going camping at the beach instead of staying at a hotel.
If you want to go from casual to committed, share quiet enjoyment, as well as humorous, exciting, and novel activities. No matter who plans it, make sure the fun happens. As your partner feels good around you, he will want to spend more and more time with you. And your happiest-ever-after with your prince may be just around the corner.

I got this off of BeautyBay.com for roughly $40 with free shipping. This palette is absolutely amazing. The colours are so wearable and there is a mixture of light, medium and dark mattes and light, medium and dark shimmers. My favourite colour from this palette is "Kitten" which is the most beautiful light shimmery champagne colour. I actually expected a lot of fallout from these shadows but to my surprise there was little to no fallout, all the shades were buttery! And for $40 for that many eyeshadows, I think that's a very reasonable price. Love this palette.

Definitely my favorite makeup eye shadow palette. I first bought it after it being suggested by one of the SA's at Mecca Cosmetics. The earthy and natural colors such as bliss, sunset and sandstone means I can wear everyday without looking too dressed up!
I have also had two friends since purchase the pallet since trying my one! Only let down is it is quite pricey (with fairly cheap looking packaging), but compared to most higher end brands quite reasonable price to pay for what you get!

This is one of my favourite palettes, the shades are absolutely gorgeous and it can be used to create such a multitude of looks.
TOP SHADES: Bliss makes a gorgeous transition colour, Kitten is my HG inner corner highlight, Bubbly is a beautiful gold that can be used swept lightly over the lid for a natural look or packed on heavily for something more dramatic.
My only gripe with this palette was that one of the shades (Gilded Gold) seems to have way less pigment than the others. While the other shades are buttery and easy to pick up with my brush I find myself digging at this colour and getting virtually no colour payoff. I think for a palette this price with such small pans this is a real shame, perhaps I got a dodgy one?

Looovee this palette, the shades are flawless and have amaaazing colour pay off, a bit pricey, but for the quality it's a price I happily paid. The only downfall to this palette was the smudge stick! Mine would not twist up at all and then it broke after I tried to twist it, really wouldn't recommend buying the smudgesticks.

Love love love this! Had seen it raved about all over youtube and needed some new eyeshadow and it certainly hasn't disappointed. Have to say though, the shimmery shades (which there are 6 of out of 8) are very pigmented and shimmery which I love but others may not. Stays well on the eyelid, and colours compliment each other perfectly.
Super happy! :) :)

All shades are very pigmented.
The mattes are creamy with good pigment.
Great colour and finish range.
Great for all skin tones and eye colours.
The price is right!
Comes with amazing eyeliner.
The packaging is a bit flimsy.
The eyeliner may not twist, but just ask for a new one.
'Kitten' and 'bubbly' are VERY shimmery - this may be a good or bad thing depending on what you want.
'Sunset' and 'gilded gold' are great for blue/green eyes, whereas 'night sky' is great for brown/hazel. But all the shades look great on everyone!
Of all the neutral palettes, I think this one is the best all-rounder.

I purchased this palette at Shopper's Drug Mart for my wedding day, and thought the shadows looked gorgeous! After playing around with it for a bit, I discovered that the shimmery shadows, while buttery and luxurious feeling, were too glittery and there was too much fallout, and some of the darker shades hardly showed up on my skin.
I have used this palette with and without primer. It has fairly good staying power with primer, but I just don't care for how some of the colors barely show up.
I have fair skin with yellow undertones and some of the browns look quite muddy and unimpressive on me. My favorite shade is the grey shade, which is dark and has only a little shimmer. It is elegant to use for a smoky eye, but I have to say that this palette was a complete waste of money otherwise. The black is nice too, and quite matte and dark. Those two colors are the best in the entire kit, as far as I'm concerned. The problem is, that I have several black eyeshadows and didn't need another one.
This palette comes with a look book with various eye looks, but good luck trying to use the eyeliner over the shadow! The tip becomes saturated with shadow, and doesn't show up either. It is best to use the eyeliner on its own. It is a dark brown waterproof swivel pencil. I had some difficulty with the pencil, as it didn't want to swivel up at first. I had to twist it several times to get any product out. It is a shame, because the look book has some great ideas, they just don't translate well IRL.
I use this palette regularly because I want to use it up. It was an overpriced mistake, which I don't plan on making again.

Thumbs down. Am I the only one? The pigmentation is not good at all especially for the price! I had to dig my brushes into these to get sons colour. Staying power with a primer also sucked. Disappointed, gad high hopes for it. Should be better,... For this price!

Rovers seek advantage over Easter says O'Kelly
Easter traditionally plays a vital role in determining the promotion and relegation issues "I would say that we'll have a much better idea of our promotion prospects after our two Easter games against Plymouth and Blackpool," said Rovers No 2 Richard O'Kelly. "But even then it probably won't all be sorted because in this division everybody is capable of beating everybody else and you never know what is going to happen."But we'd certainly like to come out of the programme with a couple of wins because we'd be right in the mix."Virtually every club in the division is playing for something, whether it is trying to get away from the bottom three or to get near the play-offs or stay there. It is probably the most competitive in England,"Our record of just one defeat in our last eight games is probably better than most of the teams involved."Our performances have been very good and even in the Newcastle game, which we lost, we played well."Neither game over Easter is going to be easy. Plymouth are down there fighting for their lives and they'll be coming up here on Saturday and giving it a right go."I think that some of their personnel since Paul Marriner has taken over. But Paul, who had just been brought in as first team coach when we lost their in early November, seems to have got a really good team spirit and everyone is working very hard for each other - not that they didn't under Paul Sturrock."After tackling one of the struggling sides tomorrow, Rovers visit fellow promotion hopefuls Blackpool on Easter Monday."I don't imagine that it will be much different from the game at the Keepmoat Stadium earlier in the season when we drew 3-3 and it was a cracking game," said O'Kelly."They have got some really talented players and Ian Holloway has got them playing an attractive brand of football."The game will see a return to Bloomfield Road of Rovers on-loan star Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.The midfielder spent time on loan with the Seasiders earlier in the season and scored a magnificent solo goal in the draw at the Keepmoat."Hopefully he can score one for us on Monday," said O'Kelly.

The Mountain Lion Back Pack Program gives children food on weekends
By: WJAC Web Staff
BLAIR COUNTY, Pa-- Many children who are home from school are not getting enough to eat.
The Mountain Lion Back Pack Program provides food to almost 400 Altoona Elementary students whose parents may not be able to afford food to feed them on Saturdays and Sundays.
Every Friday from October to May kids get a backpack with two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, two snacks and two drinks to get them through the weekend.
The goal of the program is to make sure childrens stomachs stay full so they can concentrate on learning and not their hunger.
That is why it was initiated, Mountain Lion Backpack Program member Kelly Adams said. So that they could help with the academic performance because if kids are hungry theyre not learning and if theyre not learning then they cant succeed.
Each backpack costs $3 a week. The program relies on volunteers to get food to kids who need it.

To my palate, store bought Nutella tastes like overly sweet, poor quality chocolate, with way too much vanilla and the lingering taste of stale powdered milk. But wait, you can easily make your own! And it's fabulous. There are five basic ways to make Homemade Nutella. This articles explores two of the best.
Chocolate Snacky Wacky Cake (Depression Cake)
This is NOT your average, common place, every-day, garden-variety cake. Frankly, it's not normal or even respectable. It doesn't play by the rules. If you are Merriam-Webster, you might call it bizarro, wacko, crazy, curious, eccentric, far-out, odd, kooky, offbeat, outlandish, peculiar, quirky, screwy, strange, or weird. In other words, this unassuming little snack cake is […]

Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Honey Creme Brulee
Who doesn't love Creme Brulee? Or better yet, Chocolate Creme Brulee? And February is all about love and chocolate at LunaCafe. But, there are so many formulas for Chocolate Crème Brulee, I hardly knew where to begin. After some initial testing, I figured that the important thing was to first get the perfect proportion of egg yolks to cream, then the perfect types and amount of chocolate, and finally the perfect process. The romantic flavor pairing was added after I worked out the basic formula.

Cupid Crunch (Cracker Jacks for Lovers)
I'm in a Cracker Jack craze, and there is no end in sight. After developing Chinese Cracker Jacks in December and eating it daily for weeks, I can't stop thinking about all the possible flavor permutations. This is such a versatile concept: popcorn, nuts, seasonings, caramel brittle. Hey, wait a minute, what about chocolate?
Heavenly Hot Chocolate Mix–with Seven Variations
Warm-Spiced Molten Chocolate Cake
I know, I know! Molten Chocolate Cake, or Lava Cake, as it is sometimes called, is so YESTERDAY. I am almost perturbed today when I see one on a dessert menu.

Chocolate Ginger Chipotle Stout Cake
Spicy Chocolate, Banana & Fresh Ginger Tea Loaf

All in an effort to come up with the most delectable, memorable Valentine's Day dessert ever.

Heavenly Chocolate Crepes
Recipes can be inspiring, but there is nothing as satisfying as truly understanding the underlying formula and technique of a particular dish. Once you've got those under your belt, you OWN that dish and can riff it successfully and endlessly. That's when the real fun begins.
Take the concept of dessert crepes (pronounced kr?ps in French or kr?pes in English) for instance, which are a type of very thin pancake. You can go straight to a comprehensive French cookbook, grab the basic dessert crepe recipe and process, and rely on that forever. Or, if you are more curious, you can gather 10-20 solid resources, compare the formulas and processes, and then hit the kitchen and test your way through them. When you are done, the entire world of desert crepes will open up for you and reveal its secrets. You will become the Zen master of dessert crepes.
Heavenly Chocolate Beet Tea Loaf
Bless your heart if you are actually reading this post rather than running for cover to another food blog. Yes, I know this combination sounds a tad bit unusual, but I assure you it is Pure Genius.
Lest you think I'm being immodest here, the idea is not mine. The combination was recently featured in Gourmet Traveler, and that's where I first encountered it.
Fried Banana Split with Mexican Chocolate Sauce & Strawberry Lime Salsa
As I said in the previous post, Caramelized Ancho Chile & Cinnamon Almonds, are you ready for one of the most spectacular desserts I have ever created? It is so indulgent, so bright, so refreshing, so festive, and so sinful (Using fresh strawberries out of season? Have I gone to the dark side?) that it may well be the PERFECT dessert with which to bid winter a grateful farewell. Goodbye freezing rain, mud, ice, and threats of snow. Goodbye short grey days and long dark nights. Have a safe journey to the other side of the globe, and please please please don't hurry back.
Quintessential Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce
Is there anything better in the world than a scoop of the richest vanilla bean ice cream you can get your hands on and a generous topping of an equally rich dark chocolate sauce? Okay, maybe add a couple of perfect strawberries to that picture. And then, since we're talking perfection here, how about a small handful of toasted almonds as well?
Bittersweet Chocolate Orange French Toast for Lovers
With this post, we kick off the second annual Love Rules! All Chocolate! All Month! celebration at LunaCafe OtherWorldly Kitchen. To check out the wonderful chocolate creations we debuted last February, be sure to visit the All Chocolate! recipe archive.
Beginning now, every post until the end of February will feature, you guessed it, CHOCOLATE. In fact, I've been covered in unsweetened and bittersweet chocolate, as well as cocoa, for many weeks now, trying to come up with the world's best, truly CHEWY (not fudgy, not cakey) brownie. And finally, after many attempts, I succeeded. In all the testing, I also serendipitously hit upon a wonderfully silky, light, and luscious fudgy brownie that turned me, the swamp boogie queen of chewy brownie lovers, into a fudgy brownie convert.
Arizona Sweet
Burnt Sugar & Rosemary Chocolate Tarts
I want to wrap up LunaCafe's February 2009 Love Rules! All Chocolate! All Month! celebration with a really special dessert.

Bittersweet Chocolate & Cabernet Butter Cake
A Gift of Drinking Chocolate
This is not mildly-flavored American-style hot cocoa, which is typically made with cocoa powder, or sometimes with chocolate syrup. Rather, it is European-style drinking or hot chocolate, which is made with whole milk (and sometimes part cream) and melted high-quality bar chocolate. Once you have had hot chocolate made in this way, you won't settle for anything less.

Don't think of this as a first-person shooter", says 4A Games' Huw Beynon, "think of it as an adventure." Let's be honest, he's not fooling anyone. That's definitely a great big gun we can see on the bottom right of the screen, after all. And the closest thing we find to a puzzle in this post-apocalyptic wasteland is a particularly baffling brain-teaser where you have to shoot lots of monsters in the face.
But still, 4A Games' request that you look at Metro: Last Light a little differently to other first-person shooters is actually reasonable. Like its predecessor, this is a game that's unafraid to put away its guns for long periods of time, and one that works hard, very hard, to draw you into an atmospheric, detailed world.
"A lot of it comes down to pacing," argues Beynon, "the entire plot, the storyline and the vast majority of the dialogue has been contributed by Dmitry [Glukhovsky, the author of the Metro series]. He's got some great experience as a storyteller. It's a real journey. It has high and low moments, points of action, and more slow-burning survival horror. A lot of that pacing and variety helps to keep the experience fresh and interesting."
Long way home
It's true. We spend about three hours with the game, and in that time protagonist Artyom goes on quite the adventure. Starting in freezing wastes of post-apocalyptic Moscow, he stops over in a Communist drinking den where he takes in a magic show, then battles through an armoured train factory before tearing through the subway tunnels on a scrappy cross between a race car and mine cart. There's a kind of bleak road-trip feel, heightened by a story that sees Artyom trying to make his way home across the graveyard of Moscow, as well the cheery companionship of communist ally Pavel.
In fact, playing through Last Light leads to a genuinely surprising, and very flattering comparison: Half-Life 2. There's an obvious similarity in the way they both take place across ruined, monster-infected worlds but, like Valve's game, Last Light has mastered the trick of pacing its gameplay along with its story.
Battling monsters on the surface feels quite different to fighting humans underground, while the vehicle section in particular plays like a cross between Half-Life 2's Highway 17 and the original Half-Life's On A Rail, as pesky power failures force Artyom to hop off his car and explore the monster-packed nooks and crannies along the side of the track. One of these rooms is overrun with spider-like creatures that are severely allergic to Artyom's flashlight, forcing us to ration its battery as we push deeper into the hole in search of a fusebox.
Sadly, Last Light seems to lack Valve's guiding hand. We don't actually figure out that these beasts hate light until a representative from 4A Games points it out to us, and that's only after we've pointlessly emptied so many rounds into the creatures that the poor things have probably doubled in body weight. Earlier, we get lost in that factory while looking for an exit that turns out to be a tiny gap in a wall. It's great that Last Light doesn't patronise players with hand-holding arrows or distracting messages, but it needs slightly more assured signposting if it's going to avoid frustration.
Still, in a genre ruled by triple-A giants, it's reassuring to see a series like Metro survive the death of its publisher. There's a dash of the heroic underdog to Last Light, which seems to suit its gas mask-wearing, homemade-gun-toting stars nicely.

Veronica MacLeod knows nothing about the man who appears from nowhere to prevent her from committing the most foolish and desperate act of her life. Recently named Lord Fairfax of Doncaster Hall, the breathtaking, secretive stranger agrees to perform the one act of kindness that can rescue the Scottish beauty from scandal and disgrace--by taking Veronica as his bride. Journeying with Montgomery Fairfax to his magnificent estate in the Highlands, Veronica knows deep in her heart that this is a man she can truly love--a noble soul, a caring and passionate lover whose touch awakens feelings she's never before known. Yet there are ghosts in Montgomery's past that haunt him still. Unless Veronica can somehow unlock the enigma that is her new husband, their powerful passion could be undone by the sins and sorrows of yesterday. Read more about A Borrowed Scot: Books & Buns
Thousands of impoverished Northern European immigrants were promised that the prairie offered "land, freedom, and hope." The disastrous blizzard of 1888 revealed that their free homestead was not a paradise but a hard, unforgiving place governed by natural forces they neither understood nor controlled, and America's heartland would never be the same.

When crime-fighting attorney Albert Patterson is gunned down in a Phenix City alley in the spring of 1954, the entire town seems to pause just for a moment- and when it starts up again, there is something different about it. A small group of men meet and decide that they have had enough, but what that means and where it will take them is something they could not have foreseen. Over the course of the next several months, lives will change, people will die, and unexpected heroes will emerge-like "a Randolph Scott western," one of them remarks, "played out not with horses and Winchesters but with Chevys and .38s and switchblades."

My home is just over 2000 sq ft and located in the southeast. I replaced the a/c 7 years ago with a 12 seer system.
All of my heat and hot water is created by a gas fired boiler mounted outside of my house. It is a rather small apparatus in size, about 3 feet tall and a 18 inches wide. The water it creates is held in a storage tank within my house which does not heat the water...only stores it. There is an air handler which has water coils and the air blows over these water coils giving me forced air heat. I am looking to replace the current "boiler" for a Noritz, but want to add a way to utilize solar collectors on my roof or behind my home to pre-heat the water. The back of my home faces SSW and I am not in a HOA. Most systems, it seems, are utilizing radiant heat using this method. My system as originally designed, has been working great for 12 years. Unfortunately, the people who manufactured my boiler, or whatever you might call it, donĺt make it anymore. Anyone have any ideas or links to share? |
Follow-Up Postings:
. Sounds like you may be able to pre-heat your domestic hot water; but with the heat type you've got it may be difficult to supplement it. Running heated water through a heat exchanger that has a high volume of air blowing over it to produce heat for the house; requires a pretty high water temperature . . if it's too low the air will barely feel warm. I'll bet the water coming OUT of the exchanger is still pretty hot . . . and likely above what you can reasonably generate from solar collection. As far as domestic hot water; you can surely pre-heat that via solar . . incoming water is probably 55-65 degrees; and you can easily warm that signfigantly with solar. Solar heat collection has it's limits in terms of max temperature . . . the hotter you want it the less overall volume you can preheat. In other words; bringing incoming water up in temp to ~ 90 deg via solar is far easier / faster than bringing it up to 120 deg. If you had radiant in-floor type heat; you could fairly easily pre-heat the return water, as this type of heat runs about 120 deg max . . . your hot air / heat exchanger type of heat uses a signfigantly higher temp . . so likely is not practical to try and pre-heat via solar as the temp is too high . . .

Clayton News Daily
By Daniel Silliman
firstname.lastname@example.com A small boy was killed by an ice cream truck Sunday, in what county police are considering a horrible accident. Matthew Reynoso Hernandez, 21-months-old, was crushed by the right rear wheel of the box truck, at about 6:20 p.m. The boy was with his parents, who were cooking out at 415 Sylvia Drive, Bradford Ridge Apartments, in Forest Park. He wandered off when he heard the nursery rhyme music played by the truck, according to the Clayton County Police. The truck's driver, 52-year-old Steve Kojak, was parked at the curb behind the G building, a little ways from Hernandez's family, selling ice cream to the neighborhood kids. Kojak reportedly followed the proper safety procedures before driving off. "He looked out his window," said Capt. Greg Dickens, police department spokesman. "He looked at all his mirrors, and he even looked at the camera monitors, connected to the cameras mounted outside his truck, on the bumpers." When Kojak pulled away from the curb, he "felt a bump," according to the police accident report. "We don't know where he came from," Dickens said. "At that age, he could have tripped trying to get to the truck, or he could have seen something under the truck and crawled after it." An investigation by Sgt. William Lytton, Sunday evening, concluded Hernandez "somehow got under the rear wheel" and the driver couldn't have seen him or known he was there, "even with all of the mirrors and the cameras." The boy's family members, according to police, weren't intoxicated and were properly supervising Hernandez, and went looking for him as soon as they noticed he had wandered off. No one witnessed the boys' death, Lytton wrote in his report, and his investigaiton was based on the position of the 21-month-old's body, the position of the truck and the testimony of the driver. On Monday morning, Dickens said the police don't plan to charge anyone. "We don't see any negligence," he said. "It looks like it was just one of those things that happen. We don't foresee any charges pending."More like this story

Lemon Slice Superbells ® Calibrachoa Plants
Never Needs Deadheading!
A Calibrachoa unlike any other, Lemon Slice brings the fresh clean color of a summer afternoon into the hanging basket or planter! This merry combination of yellow and white stripes suggests beach umbrellas, girls' summer dresses, and yes, lemon slices! It's the brightest and most fun Superbells® yet, and an absolute must-have this season!
Ultra long-blooming, free-flowering, and prepared to withstand punishing summer heat, humidity, and drought, Superbells® is the most amazing of Calibrachoas, and Lemon Slice lives up to all its family's virtues and then some! This trailing plant reaches just 6 to 10 inches high but is ready to spread up to 2 feet wide, setting blooms every inch of the way!
And such blooms they are -- beginning in late spring in most climates, you get masses and masses of large, single flowers with unforgettable color. They never need deadheading (nor do the plants need to be pinched during the growing process to encourage branching -- they are already beautifully branched!), and they just keep coming all summer and well into autumn!
Butterflies and bees love these blooms, which appear most heavily in full sunshine and enriched, moist garden soil. Once it takes root in your container, however, Lemon Slice is quite adaptable, withstanding dry spells, extreme heat, and even rainstorms easily. Whatever Mother Nature has in store for you this season, Superbells® Lemon Slice is prepared to take it and bounce right back!
Perfect for windowboxes, hanging baskets, tall containers, and other settings that emphasize its trailing glory, Superbells® Lemon Slice s a great accent for the patio, porch, or garden entry. It needs almost no attention beyond regular food and water to flower its best for months on end. And it combines nicely with other Calibrachoa, Persian Shield, and Helichrysum, among many others.
Vigorous, disease resistant, and unstoppably floriferous, Superbells® Lemon Slice belongs front and center in your sunny annual garden, on the patio, and anywhere else you have a patch of sunshine! Pack of 6.

MNSSHP add-on
Okay, so our additional day of time off was approved so I just got us two tickets to MNSSHP for the day we get off of the ship, which is Sunday, 10/6/13. I am super excited for this. I got the advance purchase DVC discount, which helped a bit! I havent told DH yet and contemplating whether or not I should. I do want to dress up just a little but, nothing outrageous, but I will need to tell him if that's what we are doing.
I then have also been contemplating adding on another day at a resort for that Sunday to Monday so we dont have to drive home after MNSSHP, but it's another couple hundred dollars and I am just not sure as of right now. We will see how I feel in a few days, i guess. I mean, technically we only live an hour away, but I dont know if I want to drive an hour home at midnight after MNSSHP and after having been on our feet all day long. Then again, I feel as though it's sort of a waste to get a resort room because we only live an hour away. Ugh.. decisions decisions... That's all I have for now! :P

This Wheel's On Fire: The Terror War's Disastrous Course |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Tuesday, 22 July 2014 12:24 |
Below is my column from the latest print version of CounterPunch Magazine. It was written back on June 10, and published a bit later. Much water has gone under the bridge since then – much fire too – but as the piece is on a more general theme, I thought I'd go ahead and put it up. *** The red wheel of the "War on Terror" – which under the guiding hand of the Nobel prince of peace has mutated into a hydra-headed War on Everything and Everybody Everywhere All the Time – continues on its reckless, destructive way, bringing ruin to the present and sowing disaster for the future. |

Glendale - The Nicolet School Board on Monday approved the hiring of Mae Beard as an assistant principal beginning in the 2012-13 school year. Beard currently serves in the same capacity at Menomonee Falls High School.
"I've got a lot of energy left, and I look forward to giving it my all," Beard said moments after her appointment was made official by the School Board.
Beard was one of seven finalists for the position and was interviewed by a cross-section of representatives, including administrators, teachers, other school staff, parents and students.
"We spent anywhere from an hour-and-a-half to two hours with each finalist," Nicolet Principal Greg DePue said. "Mae came out on top. We're very excited about working with her."
DePue said the district received about 150 applications for the assistant principal position. After an extensive review, the candidate pool was whittled down to 23 people who underwent a screening process.

Trip comments Aug 3-8, 2010
Since I learned so much from DISers, I would like to share my experiences and comments of our trip. I don't plan for it to be a comprehensive one, just some obervations of things that came up. Hopefully this will help the next person in planning their trip. If I think of anything else, I may add to it. Thanks!
Cafe Orleans for viewing Fantasmic. We ate at Cafe Orleans on the day of arrival, and got the latest possible reservation. The food was great (I had the Monte Christo and the pomme frites). The pomegranate lemonade was awesome! We were able to stay and view Fantasmic from where we were, but missed the stuff on the surface. It was nice to be able to sit down at a table while waiting for Fantasmic, but we missed half the show so I don't think it was worth it. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique It was totally worth having DD (6) get her hair done. I got the hair and nail package, and purchased the photo package separately. I also got the scepter and glove/bag added. It was totally worth it. i did not see the note in the photo package that said I could get copies of the photos at the Photo store in Main Street (can't remember offhand, I'll add it when I do) until midnight that same day, otherwise I would have gotten more copies of the one large photo (package came with one large photo/1 pose, and 4 4x6s/2 other poses). Oh, and you can buy the bag and sash separately wihtout having to get the service (I seem to remember someone asking that question). Fantasmic Awesome show! Get there early - we were there around 7, and got one of the few remaining spots by the water with a decent view of the main stage (it was off to one side of the stage). People were understanding about one person in the party holding spots for the rest of the party, and there was not a lot of pushing or anything). We saved our spots and took turns getting dinner. Bengal BBQ was not too far away ...! Bengal BBQ - great food! Wish the servings were larger though lol. I did not realize that there was only one stick per serving (I thought there was 2 per serving). Oh well. I got some popcorn and we were ok. World of Color - awesome show! We got the picnic option and it was great. We picked it up around 2:30 so we could make sure we get the blue FPs (we did), took it back to the hotel for our break, and brought it back in. Security allowed it because it was a Disney meal. I just did not want to have it get warm and end up with food poisoning or something. The food was pretty good. Tropicana Inn This is the second time we stayed there, we picked it for its proximity and it was worth it ...! Hotel was decent, hot tub was great for sore feet, and we were glad it was so close as we went to rest in the room and cool off every day. They had a small gift shop and coffee shop on the ground floor, and the hospitality room (with free continental breakfast) was on the 3rd floor.
Luver of all things Disney!

My DD 5 had a blast at the BBB!! We did the whole shebang!! Are you getting the photo CD? If so, they can add the BBB pics to it. There is a number on the side of the larger picture that can be added like a 2nd photopass card. Wasn't the World of Color show all it promised & more!! Awesome show....wish we could have done it more than once! We stayed at the Tropicana last year. Great location, nice staff, helpful housekeeping, clean rooms, quiet & nice & dark at night!! Would have no problem recommending this for others! (I didn't realize when we were there that they offered a small continental breakfast.....lol)

ohh, I did not know that about BBB, I'll have to do it. Thanks for the info! We did the partial shebang - I got a couple of accessories and the photo package, with DD in the Belle dress she already had.
WOC was totally amazing! So was F! - I have not decided which I liked better. You did not miss much with the Tropicana breakfast - the breakfast was ok if you like donuts and croissants, and they do have an option for you to purchase cereal and bagles. Plus, it means you have to get up earlier lol. I wish DD liked pop tarts - I would have been happy with that and an extra half hour of sleep ...!

Observations part 2. These are mostly my comments on the rides that I made.
We did not get to go on all the rides we wanted But, we did enjoy the ones we were on. Most of my time was spent with DD6, who is really into princesses. She doesn't like the dark, so did not enjoy the dark rides as much. We did Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. She was a trooper on POTC, but did not like it (too scary). She loved the carousels, Dumbo, FL teacups and gadget's go coaster (rode them several times). She enjoyed Small World and the Tiki Room (although the totems intimidated her a bit). She did not care for Roger Rabbit, and was so-so with Autopia. She did enjoy Finding Nemo, although was a bit uncomfortable with the dim lights. She did enjoy GRR and TMRR, but we only were able to ride them once. She watched the Jedi training academy but was not interested in participating (although perhaps it was because she was in a princess dress and all dolled up after BBB). Goofy's Kitchen and Ariel's Grotto were definite hits. The food was good, at both, and we enjoyed having the character interaction. DD loved all the princesses (and I was thrilled to meet Mulan!). At AG, we saw Ariel, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White and Belle. At GK we saw Goofy, Chip and Dale, Mulan (!), Minnie Mouse and Belle in her village outfit (blue). The characters seemed a bit more hurried this time around. TTMM: We enjoyed the show, and proudly showed off the buttons we got after the ceremony on our lanyard ...! We saw Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy and Donald, but Donald did not stay long since he moved to the Main Plaza. And we were next in line right before he left. We would have been OK except for the line cutters who rushed to give a hug before he left ... DD was so disappointed, and we never did have a chance to meet Donald this trip. Oh well. She cheered up after getting on Gadgets go coaster (11 times - I think she liked it ) PFF: Loving princesses, of course we had to go to this. DD was a bit shy, so did not go and do the coronation ceremony (I had 4 WOC picnic meals, backpack with the days' stuff AND the camera bag, so I was not going down to the floor with all that stuff). DD did not do the signatures and photo afterwards, since we already had the signatures for the three princesses (Cinderella, Aurora and Snow White). We stayed for the storytelling, which was Ariel at that time. Then we went to the greeting line and met Jasmine, Belle and Tiana (yay!!). I was told Pocahontas also showed up there too, in addition to wandering around Frontierland, but we never saw her (bummer). The Troubador Tavern was next to PFF, and they had BAKED POTATOES (yum!). It was a nice alternative to burgers and the like. Plus the sitting area overlooked the PFF floor, so we had built in entertainment Even if you are not there for PFF, I would check out the food. OK, maybe by that time I was ready for something nice and simple like a baked potato ... A Bug's Life - DD loved almost everything there. Heimlich Chew Chew train was a favorite, and Dot's puddle got her soaking wet (we got her Keens in anticipation of this). She was not interested in the bumper cars, but rode everything else. We were here when she was 2 1/2, and Heimlich was also her favorite. However, I think by the time we make it back, she would have outgrown this area ... sniff. DH's take on rides (we split up and he went on the larger rides with our friend): DH loved TMRR, Space M (twice), Calif Screamin, TSMM (only made it once, but would have gone again if the lines weren't so long). DH did not care for Captain EO. Matterhorn was OK, but lines were long. He thought Nemo was OK, and liked GRR (of course, HE did not get too wet ...). Celebrate parade: it was a lot of fun, but only if you were in the right spot for a good view. I liked the energy, but could not see the dancing and had limited interaction. There were several charcters, there were 2 instances where the kids were able to participate. It was amusing to have the CMs try to herd the kids back to their proper parents ... At the end, they threw Mickey shaped confetti, which I thought was really cute. Aladdin: we had Preferred seating, but did not get there early enough to take advantage of it. We decided to go in anyway and not wait for the next show, and ended up in the nosebleed section. It was OK, we had to lean over to see everything, but it was a different perspective and I thought it was cool to see the openings in the floor where the characters appear and disappear from the middle of the stage. We enjoyed the show, and it was nice to rest and cool off in the AC River Belle Terrace breakfast - we went for a sit down breakfast one day, and went for the mickey shaped pancakes here. I got the Mark Twain, with potatos, eggs and sausage. We sat outside and had a view of the river and Mark Twain. Very nice. Alamo rent a car: We rented a car for one day, and went to Santa Monica pier. Not doing that again - we spent more time in traffic than at the beach. The Alamo office was in DTD, so it was very convenient. The rental lot was down from the building. The person was friendly, but did not give good directions to the car or on how to return the car. Plus, the gate was broken when we finally managed to find the lot. We did have a nice dinner at Joe's Crab Shack, and shopped at the Disney Character Warehouse, so it was worth the effort. Next time, we would skip the beach or find a closer one. OK, I think I've covered most everything we did (I am sure there are a few things here and there that I missed). It was definitely a great trip , flying into SNA was (for us) a very good decision. Not renting a car saved us some $$, and it was nice not to have to worry about knowing where to go. We did spend some time as a family for some things, and split up for others (that was a good plan). Daily breaks were imperative - we would not have lasted otherwise. Plus it was nice to dump the shopping back at the room so we did not have to carry it around lol. Oh, one last comment. We got the autograph books that they sell in the stores, and it was very nice because it has a plastic pocket for photos on one side, and a space for an autograph on the other. I would definitely do that again. For those of you who have read this until the end, thanks for allowing me to share our experiences with you, and I hope you enjoy your trip!

Does anyone have the recipe for the Cherry Mock Fried Pies that's on page 32 of the new Fall Catalog? It's says it's from the Simply Sweet cookbook on page 67. Thanks!!
Yum, these look great! Cherry Mock Fried Pies Prep Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes Yield: 8 pies 1 pkg (15 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts) softened according to package directions 1 jar (32 oz) cherry pie filling (3 1/3 cups) 2 egg whites 2 1/2 c crisp rice cereal 2 tsp Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend 1 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Do not unroll crusts. Cut each crust into four equal portions. Gather into balls; flatten into 1/2-inch-thick disks. Place one disk on center of lightly floured Pastry Mat. Roll from center to edges, forming a 6-in circle using Baker's Roller. Repeat with remaining balls of dough. 2. Place pie filling in medium Colander. Place over medium Colander Bowl and shake out all of the gel, reserving 1/4 cup. Place cherries and reserved gel into Small Batter Bowl. (Discard remaining gel.) Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of the pie filling onto center of each dough circle. Lightly beat egg whites in one Coating Tray. Brush some of the egg whites around edges of circles with Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. (Reserve remaining egg whites for coating.) Fold over the pastry to form a half-moon; press edges to seal. Using Pastry Cutter fitted with fluted wheel, trim 1/8 in off edges. 3. Coarsely crush cereal in large resealable plastic bag with Baker's Roller; combine with spice blend. Place cereal mixture in second Coating Tray. Dip each pie into egg whites and then into cereal. Place pies on Large Round Stone with Handles. Snip three slits into top of each pie using Professional Shears. Bake 25-28 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm. Chef's Corner It's important not to overfill the pies; they'll be difficult to seal and could pop open during baking. Pies may be prepared, but not baked, and frozen. When ready to bake, place frozen turnovers on Large Sheet Pan and bake at 425 for 35-40 minutes. Pumpkin pie spice can be substituted for the Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend, if desired.

Eco Adventures in Georgia
Coastal Georgia is a pristine, unique paradox for Georgia. When thinking about Southern travels, most folks picture sweet tea, peaches, our vast rolling Appalachian Mountains and the signature historic antebellum homes.
Those scenarios all have their place in our great state. But when tourists hear about the Georgia coast, they typically squint their eyes in a disbelieving stare. Georgia has beaches? Like, sandy shores and oceans?
The answer is yes, very much so. Our coastline is a gem for the state. A golden gem, if you will. The Golden Isles features several lovely islands and a historic mainland that attract guests year-round.
What's more, the outdoor eco-educational opportunities that exist in the region are immense. For both the kiddos and the grown-ups, there are multiple ways to get out, get active and get informed about the intricate nature of, well, coastal nature.
Georgia Sea Turtle Center: Rehabilitate. Research. Educate. Those are the overarching goals of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. Established in 2007, the Georgia Sea Turtle Center is the coast's premier marine life rehabilitation, research and education facility. Located in the island's historic power plant building, the Sea Turtle Center brings in thousands of eager visitors from across the country every year. While visiting the center, guests can experience hands-on exhibits, witness sea turtle operations and interactively learn about the conditions of the delicate coastal ecosystem.
The Georgia Sea Turtle Center is open for individual and family visits, as well as school field trips, public programs, birthday parties and special events. All admission fees and donations to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center go to the daily operations, upkeep and maintenance of the center, as well as exhibit development, maintenance, equipment, and, of course, all aspects of turtle care.
Tidelands Nature Center: While visiting Jekyll Island to "sea" the happenings at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, be sure to stop at the University of Georgia 4-H Tidelands Nature Center. At the center, guests will find hands-on exhibition tanks and educational displays, as well as opportunities to canoe, paddle boat and kayak on the nearby pond. On-the-water opportunities are offered year-round, and camps, exhibits and workshops change monthly, so be sure to visit the website before setting your final plans.
Southeast Adventures: From the ocean and streams to marshes and rivers, the Golden Isles is a haven for water-based activities, including canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding. More than two decades ago, Southeast Adventures tapped into this aquatic theme by introducing guests and residents of the Golden Isles to these water-heavy activities.
Daily, the guides at Southeast Adventure takes guests out on kayak tours, as well as paddle-boarding excursions, fishing tours and nature boat cruises. Need more than a few hours on the water? They can handle that too, with the multi-day charter tours that take visitors throughout the region.
Dolphin and Fishing Tours: Throughout the Golden Isles, guests can find several options for dolphin-watching tours and fishing excursions. Jekyll and St. Simons Islands offer several seasoned captains who can accommodate groups of varying sizes.
Whether looking to get far out in the ocean for some deep-sea charter fishing, or wanting a more inland experience with the shoreline in view, guests itching for a day on the water will not leave the Golden Isles disappointed. We suggest giving Captain Phillip or Cap Fendig a buzz. Both operate throughout the Golden Isles, presenting visitors with an assortment of charter boat rides (including dinner and wine cruises). You can also find a long list of options here.
Of course, the islands are not the only places to learn about Georgia's great outdoors. Here are a few other Peach State eco-education ideas to get you started:
Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta; Black Forest Bear Park & Reptile Center in Helen; Georgia Buffalo Ranch in McIntosh County; Okefenokee Swamp in Folkston ; Cumberland Island in St. Mary's; Banning Mills Zip Line Adventure in Banning; Alpaca Tierra in Young Harris; and the Go Fish Center in Perry.
These are just a small handful of the multitude of eco-educational and outdoor adventures that await you and your family throughout the state. Visit ExploreGeorgia.org for plenty of ways to shake off that indoor dust and get a hands-on look at Georgia, its ecological wonders and its environmental elements.

Daily, Hall uses her passion for Georgia in her role as communications and social media manager for the Jekyll Island Authority. Whether its shark fishing in the coastal waterways of her Golden Isles home, or trekking a mountain in the northern region of the state, Hall actively seeks out new opportunities to showcase and share the beauty of the Peach State.

Get Outdoors in Augusta
When you think of Augusta, The Masters golf tournament or James Brown might be the first things that come to your mind. However, what you may not know is that Augusta is a fantastic place to get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Here are my suggestions for great outdoor attractions & activities in Augusta, Georgia:
Augusta Riverwalk: Augusta is situated along the Savannah River, which forms the state line between Georgia and South Carolina. Take a stroll down the multilevel Riverwalk and enjoy the scenery of the river, gardens, abundant opportunities for picnicking and a playground for kids (and kids at heart). Riverwalk is a great place to experience 4th of July fireworks, the St. Patrick's Day Celebration and the Augusta Market on the River, where you can find fresh produce, food and crafts during the warmer months of the year. It is also home to the Jessye Norman Amphitheatre, a unique spot for outdoor concerts.
The Augusta Canal: The Augusta Canal was built to provide water to textile mills and factories that used hydro-power to operate large machinery. Today, you can tour the canal by boat, bike or foot. If you have your own canoe or kayak, you can put in at the canal head gates and paddle the 7 miles past Lake Olmstead to the 13th Street Bridge. There are several outfitters in town that offer boat rentals and shuttles. Because there are no gas-powered boats allowed in the canal, the only traffic you will see is tour boats and other paddlers. It's pretty cool to be on the water, viewing birds, turtles and possibly alligators and heading right through the heart of downtown at the same time. If you'd rather stick to land, you can experience the Canal Trail, a dirt path that runs the length of the canal and is great for biking or hiking. The trail is shaded by large trees, so it is enjoyable year-round, and there are different entrance points, so you don't have to trek the entire length of the trail if you're not up for it.
Disc Golf: Augusta is home to the PDGA International Disc Golf Center, making it a mecca for disc golfers. You can toss some discs there or at several different courses throughout the area. Just bring your own discs, and you're all set. Pendleton King Park is great for beginners. If you're looking for a challenge, I suggest the Lake Olmstead course is perfect, which is built around the water.
The Augusta Greenjackets: The Augusta Greenjackets are a minor league team affiliated with the San Francisco Giants that plays at Lake Olmstead Stadium, just minutes from downtown. The tickets are affordable and the beer is cold, making it a great option for a night out with family or friends. Insider tip: Don't miss out on the chance to have your picture taken with the mascot Auggie!
Camping: After all of your outdoor adventures, it's time to relax with nature. What better way to do that than by camping at Lake Thurmond? Mistletoe State Park is only about 30 minutes from downtown and a great place to set up camp. You'll be right on the banks of Lake Thurmond, where you can swim, boat or simply laze about and enjoy your surroundings. The last time I camped there, the weather was perfect and peaceful. It's also nice to know you aren't too far from civilization in case you forget to pack any essentials.
